Why Some Apartments "Smell Like Cats" and Others Don't: A Simple Explanation

Purrs live in many houses.

At the same time, in the apartments of some cat owners there are no unpleasant odors, while in other homes it “smells like cats.”

What is the reason for this difference? It turns out that it is not the pet that is the problem, but its owners.

If the owners of the fluffy animal take proper care of the pet and clean the litter box on time, then no extra “aromas” will appear in the apartment.

But if the owner is not so caring and striving for cleanliness, then the rooms will smell unpleasant.

What to do to stop your house from smelling like cats

Firstly, you need to clean and disinfect the cat litter box on time using special products.

This may need to be done once every two days. Perhaps once a week. It all depends on the type of filler.

If the tray has no filler at all, then it will have to be washed several times a day.

Secondly, the cat needs to be fed properly. You shouldn't give it cheap food, otherwise the appearance of an unpleasant smell will become inevitable.

It is better to buy quality food for your pet.

Thirdly, the fluffy one needs to be provided with a comfortable, safe and calm environment. In this case, the animal will not walk past the tray.

It also makes sense to think about castrating or sterilizing your pet. Perhaps after this, the purr will stop "marking" the territory.
